Okay... new members: Locations please!

Fabe · #1 01-09-2003, 05:28 AM

Okay, I know I'm not a moderator, but I just noticed that a lot of new members aren't putting their location in their profile.

It would help a lot if you did this so we don't have to ask where you live first in order to answer your questions. Plus I think it's interesting where all those new jemsiters live.

If I'm out of line here Glen, tell me. I was just getting annoyed by that, sorry... If this topic is in the wrong area please move it, I just figured that a lot come here to the off-topic forum and might see this earlier than when they stumble into the Forum Anouncements forum after a couple of months...

Okay, sorry,

Fabe

Yeah I noticed it too...I just get the feeling there's something's missing when I read the name of the poster, you know...

I agree Fabe, I think it's nice to see where folks are from firstly to build a senseof a real community and secondly to make sure that answers to any questions can be tailored to the correct geographical region.

I can walk into almost any Ibanez dealer and find a BTB JS1000, whereas folks in the USA have to custom order it, or grab one from Rich. Mesa Boogie amps cost at least twice over here what they do in the States.

So for now I've made this a "sticky" and I hope if you newcomers see this, you'll add your locations to your profiles

Oh, and make them your real world location, not a made up humourous comment

email addy's are often appreciated too, ESPECIALLY if you are selling something. I've passed up on items I wanted simply because there was no email addy, if you aren't willing to post your email, you're probably not that willing to sell

I added my location (Long Island, New York) after reading this thread, just for your information, Fabe.

I am sitting in my room in front of my computer right now. This may change later.

I am located near Grimsby, north east lincolnshire, England, though I don't post here very often, I thought I'd let you know where I am from.

Is my location ok as it is? I don't want to annoy any moderators...

EKG · #15 02-24-2003, 01:54 PM

If location is important, is there a way to make it a "required field" in your profile? I was thinking this might make things easier ;-)
